Hello all!
Wondering if someone knows what's going on and can give me some advise!
Our cucumbers plants started to develop some sort of disease, the leaves have yellow/brown dots that eventually turn into cracks, leaving the plant full of holes. It rained almost every day during the past week, and it seems like it got worse with the wet weather.
The plants are growing and some have flowers already. We grown our cucumbers in tomato cages, off the ground.
The same things now is happening to out zucchini and summer squash plants.
Any help would be very appreciated!
(I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures, as soon as I found out I'll post some! thanks!)

Thanks a lot for both links!
Eric, I've seen that page you sent and my guess would be Anthracnose or Angular Leaf Spot? Any suggestions for control? Would a broad spectrum fungicide help?
The first picture is from one of my summer squash plants, and the second is from one of the cucumber plants.
Again, thank you!

Even though I water with a soaker hose, because of the humidity we have in Alabama I have had problems with powdery mildew on my cucumber and squash leaves. I use neem oil and it works very well. Because of past problems I have been using neem oil as a preventive and so far (crossing fingers) I have not had any problems this year.
